" Why does a tasteless inaccurate holocaust comparison carry a higher penalty than supporting a fascist end to democracy?"

You'll have to ask the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Or if he doesn't tell you, ask the elephant. But remember, every sensible answer they provide and every seemingly concrete example they offer will turn out to be just a bunch of anti-semitic canards that have no basis in reality.

#7 The comparison is apt. Both countries consider these people traitors and have laws regarding such. In one instance, Danni is all for executing "traitors". In the other, she isn't. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I believe neither should be put to death.

As far as I'm concerned the only crimes that should warrant the death penalty are most murders and certain instances of rape.

A guy breaking into Pelosi's office and putting his feet up on her desk or or smearing excrement on walls or getting interviewed by a foreign-based news service deserves plenty in return as punishment, but these actions, while abhorrent, do not warrant the death penalty.

"Saudi Arabia should be isolated and shunned by all decent governments in the world!"
-Danni, on this thread.

"We are just playing with fire if we don't exact the most harsh punishments available under federal law... which does include the death penalty. And I am sorry, but I would administer it myself, these folks are traitors!"
-Danni, over on the "Capitol Rioter Who Raided Pelosi's Office Makes Kremlin TV Debut" thread.

" I've killed lots of Arabs in my life " and there's no problem with that."

- New Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, 2013

Just another genocidal Zionist maniac.

Things went straight downhill for Tennessee soon after this:

The hypocrisy of their enemies allow both Trump and Putin to remain free men.

If they were clearing the park to make way for fencing, then where were all the foils and lames, hmmm?

Louie Gohmert got the idea after watching the intro to this movie:

"Wait, we don't yet know what other species will emerge from the frozen tundra as it melts. This could be a great horror film."

Actually 'twas done back in the 70s in a "classic" Doctor Who episode:

Florida is a state of consistencies. for example, many things one notices all seen to be in the 80s:

The daily temperature...
The relative humidity...
People's average age...
People's IQs...

So what? Its been provable time and time again that you can freeze any animal at -273 degrees Celsius and it would be 0K.

I hear that many men who have been vaccinated in the California bay area find themselves mysteriously attracted to poles. This may be magnetic polar attraction or be due to a sort of animal magnetism when confronted with tight fitting trousers or it could suggest that they are either latently bipolar or homopolar.

I've always enjoyed crude jokes and this is no exception.

I agree that Chico, Groucho and Harpo irreparably damaged the appetite for irreverent and surrealist humor in this country for nearly fifty years but you should really leave Zeppo out of it. He wasn't funny and what's more his nickname was stupid.

Political theater designed to suppress news regarding the continued atrocities of the Zionists on the Palestinian peoples in Sheikh Jarrah and elsewhere.

"#6 Did the Bahrainians complain about immigrants stealing their jobs?"

The reason many Bahrainis wear those loose coverings over their heads is to conceal their red necks.

"#4 ah, contributing to the deaths of thousands of slave labor workers."

I had thought of that-- because there is a lot to be concerned about. Usually I will boycott things when there are contributing factors that show the cost in innocent human life will be extreme- like in the case of the US War on Terror for instance. I was considering voting for Obama back in 2008 but I decided not to because I didn't want to contribute to the murder and maiming of thousands of civilians in the inevitable bombings of Iraq, Syria and elsewhere that I knew he would give the go-ahead for. I'm glad I did!

I may boycott the World Cup when it is held in America in four years for the same reason. Hopefully Biden won't have a hand in murdering as many poor brown people as the previous four presidents have.

"And yet there were all these Indian, Bangladeshi, and African workers toiling away on every imaginable type of outdoor labor. Nary a native Bahraini to be seen."

The whole gulf is very much beholden to migrant labor. They have swallowed America's methods of capitalistic growth hook line and sinker. Reminds me uncannily of this country 100-150 years ago when these types of projects (transcontinental railroad, panama canal) were built on the backs of millions of underpaid, overworked and abused immigrants. Seeing a native in such a situation would remind me of the Panama Canal digging. Tens of thousands of West Indian workers, effectively slaves, dead or permanently disabled and along comes our revered and esteemed POTUS Teddy Roosevelt in his white suit and white hat to tour it all and sit inside a steam shovel and look every part the dominant white king of the downtrodden and unwashed brown.

Then later, in bombastic acts of cognitive dissonance, we chisel that same guy (and a couple other guys from Virginia who used ACTUAL slave labor for their personal profit) into big rock in some ------ state out west to honor freedom and the will of single men. I'm awaiting the day when Saudi Arabia finally does that for MBS. It will represent a truly American moment.

I too would sell my Pokemon cards to save that adorable dog...

...but I'm not so sure about my Yugioh cards.

"So hey, let's hold the World Cup in Dubai! "

Do you mean the Thoroughbred race that has happened there for the past twenty five years? If so, OK. But if it is the FIFA World Cup you are talking about, it will be held in Qatar in November and December. Beautiful weather there in November and December. Already have my accommodations and tickets.

"When the protesters went into the Capitol...these are not looters or thieves, these people came with political requests. Isn't that true? It is. But they detained 450 people."

The cadence and structure of Putin's rhetoric, even though it has gone through translation, bears an uncanny resemblance to Trump's.

I enjoyed it for what it was- a bunch of kids trying to have fun. I had fun. A lot of irresponsible and stupid fun. I ran the gauntlet. I was fortunate to get through my college years without an STD or an addiction.

Better to join a frat or sorority and drink,--------, smoke a bowl and jump out of a treehouse into a kiddie pool full of jello than signing with the gun cult to go shoot brown people in some third world country in the name of freedom.

The only hard stuff I drink is guaranteed aged Scotch. It goes great with a briar pipe containing Mac Baren or some other aromatic tobacco.

It must be the Irish in me ;-)

A quick anecdote: my uncle had an extensive record and singles collection which, after his death ten years ago, I inherited.

He also kept a detailed and quite fastidious list of what he had and what year he bought it. His collection is roughly from 1963-1984 with a few outliers. Most of the 45 singles from 63-67 but after 67 they were mostly LPs.

Looking at the list (an old yellow legal pad with faded pencil), out of the 304 LPs and a few EPs listed, a whopping 34 of them are from 1971.

That sucks. A Phi Tau here to say rum is evil. We used to have Pirate Night. We made GROG which was rum mixed with sugar, warm water and nutmeg. It tasted horrible but we all drank it or else we'd have to "walk the plank" which was a 2 x 8 x 8 piece of pressure treated lumber placed upon the garage with the swimming pool below. You can visualize the carnage quite easily" table slammers have nothing on us. Yeah it was pretty dumb and quite reckless but no one died. Looking back I really can't believe no one died.
